How to light a white wall.

I love white but only in rooms that get. But white painted rooms with drywall that don t get a ton of natural light can take on an insane asylum feel if you aren t careful. Use the sherwin williams color display for fast and easy color selection and as your guide when trying to determine the perfect hue. Before painting fill holes with filler then sand smooth.

Using a primer will help to ensure that your color comes out true when dry with no dark base color muting a light one or a light base color making it impossible to get bold color coverage. Moral of the story. When painting over dark walls with light paint colors use a white primer. Lightening up the wall color is a good way to bring a sense of space and of course more light into a room but if the paint doesn t hide the color properly streaking and bleed through can negate the benefits of the color change.

Whether cool and crisp or soft and warm white walls are one color trend that s never going out of style.
